Hi there,

Was wondering if anyone could tell me the torque specs and bolt order that the EA XR6 rocker cover needs to be refastened at?

Cheers,
Jamie

Howdy there,

I presume you mean the EA six. The XR6 was not around at the time. This has been discussed before, but I would probably take hours to find it. If no one here knows, I'd suggest going to this forum:

Its about 7Nm from memory

It's 7-12Nm.
Don't go too tight because the things are real easy to crack.

Thankyou very much for the replies!

Jack, is your avatar picture a Corolla? If so, email me (jamie@superjamie.net)

Hmmm the Ford Manual in the engine specs section says Stud 20NM and Nut 6Nm but in the picture earlier in the manual its shown as 7 -12 Nm for the nut. 7nm sounds a good number. All these were with the OEM cork gasket. The neoprene gaskets usually come with instructions and a recommended torque,

Jacka avatar is it a Corolla? Maybe if you were drunk and squinted man........:)

Its the famous Datsun 120Y. Jacks favorite thing in the world. Ask the guy for some info, and Im sure he'd be able to tell you a book full... :)

Go the Datto!

PS Jack are u mentioning the humble Datto Stanza in your next book???

Just out of interest, how much does a torque wrench cost? Where can I get one?

Depends on size and brand $20 to $200+. Cheapies are at Marlows, Kmart, Rocco Bros etc. Better at Repco etc and tools specialists. Cheap are Ok but you will find that you need a range of about three from mini to large to cover all ranges.

hehe well obviously the 120Y is getting a section dedicated to it. The Stanza is a car I don't know so much about. I suppose it was more of a mid-way point between the 180B/200B and the Bluebird. And like those cars, sheer toughness was its forte.
